2K Games and Gearbox have announced a Borderlands spin-off for iOS, dubbed Borderlands Legends and due for release on October 31. Yeah, that was really quick. The game will go for $4.99 for iPhone and $6.99 for the iPad version.

If you're interestedin the series' mobile installment, a brief description on the official blog describes Legends as a combination of action RPG and strategy, likes the main games. Gameplay is will be isometric, and players essentially level characters while fighting off waves of enemies, from Skags to Bandits. Judging by the screenshots, it does look rather fun.

As 2K excitedly points out, the Borderlands universe is no longer "just a console experience." True, considering its also a PC experience, but we're sure they're referring to mobile.
